Ei td Taliles Year 


Canada enters the new year with as bright prospects as ever faced the 
Dominion, There is not one dark cloud on the national horizon, All reputa- 
ble authorities are in agreement in predicting that the steady progress and 
general betterment in conditions which marked 1926 will be continued on a 
still larger scale in 1927. The heads of all our chief banking and influential 
institutions, the executives of our railway#™ our captains of industry and 
commerce, our political leaders, all foresee great advancemént for Canada 
throughout the new year. 

There are substantial grounds for their optimism. Apart from seasonal 
unemployment which, of necessity, is always prevalent during the winter 
months, employment generally remains at a high level. Nor are there any

trial upheavals. Business in all lines has been good, and promises to be 
better. The foreign trade of Canada, and the balance of that trade in favor 
of the Dominion, steadily increases. Building activities, and works of con- 
structon of many kinds, which showed remarkable expanson in 1926, give 
every sign of attaining new high levels in the new year, , 

Depression and lack of national confidence which at times have afflicted 
the people of Canada are conspicuous by their absence as the Dominion enters 
upon the sixtieth year of Confederation; Coupled with the improyed economic 
situation, the decisions of the recent Lmperial Conference conferring a new 
satus upon the Dominion, have had the effect of causing Canadians to hold 
their heads up and of giving them a new confidence, a greater national pride, | 
a new sense of importance and power. 

lt now remains for the citizens of Canada to grasp the opportunities be- | 
fore them, and by all means within their power give impetus to the forward | 
movement. With Federal elections behind us for some years our Parliament- 
arians. cin well afford to devote their undivided attention to the solution o!

siderable advance over any variety 
grown in the West. It bears a strong- 
er resemblance to the popwar Irish 
Cobbler than to any other variety. But 
the Irish Cobbler is handicapped. by 
having very deep-set eyes, . which 
makes it unpopular with the thrifty 
housewife in that it4s somewhat diffi. 
eult to peel without sacrificing some 
of the meat along with the skin. 
“Mitchell’s Excelstor” has very shal-

than the far-famed Cobbler, and 
epicures who have had the pleasure of 
sampling the new ‘potato declare that}. 
it has a rich and delicate flavor pecu- 
Marly its own. While a white-skinned 
potato, it tends to more of a russet 
color than its relative and nearest ri- 
val, the Irish Cobbler, and a diatinc- 
tive difference is that while the Irish 
Cobbler has a purple flower, “Mitch- 
ell’s Excelsior” has a white blossom. 
It is pointed out that J. C, Mitchell}, 
has been growing this potato for six- 
teen years, selecting, rejecting, rogu- 
ing, and standardizing the variety un- 
til he was satisfied that he had a-high 
yielding comparatively early, fine fla-

recommendation to Hon. W. R.-Moth-

The Climate Of Canada Exist 
Through Lack Of Knowledge 


Surveying the climatic conditions 
throughout Canada the Natural 
Resources Intelligence Service of the 
Dominion finds on the prairie prov- 
inces ‘most healthful conditions. In a 
bulletin it says: 

“In the prairie provinces of Mantto| 
ba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the 
brightness, clearness, dryness and 
purity of the atmosphere are famous 
and it is these features which make 
those great plains such a successful 
wheat-growing country. Occassionatly 
an intense heat or a severe cold wave 
will develop. In this respect Alberta 
fs very fortunately ‘situated, as the 
prevailing winds being from the West, 
the moisture gathered whilst crossing 
the ocean is shed either on the coast 
ranges of hills or else on the western 
slopes of the Selkirks and the Rocky 
mountains, the result being that a 
dry, warm air passes down’ to the 
plains below. Owing to the clear 
atmosphere it is possible to see 200 
miles in certain parts of Alberta, as 
against an average of 50 miles else 
where in the world. 

The bulletin points out that the 
popular idea In Europe and in some 
parts of America, only up to within 
a very few years ago was, Canada 
was an_ ice-bound land. “This 
was very largely due to the fact that 
no distinction was made in the differ- 
ence of latitude between Aklayik at 
the mouth of the Mackenzie river, and 
Leamington in Essex county, 
Ontario. The former is well within 
the Arctic circle and the latter is about 
30 miles south-east of Detroit and 
where tobacco, grapes and .peaches 
are grown and ripened in the open. 
Of late years, however, awmore en- 
lightened view has been held, and 
Canada’s much maligned climate giv- 
en a clean bill of health. 

“A variety of causes have operated 
to bring this about, the principal one 
being the improved means of travel 
by which world-wide conventions of | 
learned and philosophie societies have 
been able to foregather in many cities 
throughout the Dominion and acquire 
a first hand knowledge of it. The 
same cause has enabled prominent 
statesmen, ecclesiastics, _ financial 
magnates and. literary personages 
from all over this continent, as well 
as Europe, to see for themselves what 
advantages Canada has to offer, not 
only from a commercial point of view, 


purposes. That it is healthful is ev!- 
denced by. the fact that its death rate 
per thousand is by far the lowest on 
the continemis of North and South 
America, and that it ts pleasant i: 
evidenced by the comparative freedom 
from lawlessness and disturbances. 
The summer months attract visitors 
from all over the continent to the de- 
lightful lake, river and mountain re- 
sorts, the winter months to the brac- 
ing winter sports for which full pro- 
vision is made, and between times 
there can always be found some quiet, 
restful spot in close touch with na- 
ture, where the jaded overwrought 
nerves can regain their normal cen- 
dition. 

“An attractive Yeature which Can- 
ada has for most American tourists 
is the complete change in the small 
conditions of life which keep erap- 
ping out to interest and amuse them. 
The worst ailments that mankind suf- 
fers are not always physical, more 
frequently they are mental, and the 
remedy seems to Ife in providing a 
continuous series of pictures which 
make a novel and unusual impression 
on the mind. This will work more ef- 
fectually in what is éficlally termed 
a “foreign country” although close to 
home, rather than in one’s’ own coun- 
try, however far afield it may be. The 
physical senses will revel in clearer 
skies, brighter sunshine and cooler 
nights than can be found anywhere in 
Europe for the same latitudes. Autumn 
and Indian summer are, perhaps, the 
most delightful seasons ef the year. 
whilst in winter the greater number 
of days are those of bright stinshine. 
The number of summer _ visiters 
coming to Canada fer relief fram the 
intolerable heat of some southern 
cities is yearly increasing, and in win- 
ter the outdoor sports of skiing, 
toboganning and snow-shoeing attrac; 
an equally large number..Of the great 
benefits derived from attendance en 
either of these annual occasions there 
is no doubt, as not only do the same 
visitors come year after year, but 
they have an increasingly larger fol- 
lowing.”

Agriculture and Transportation 


By C. W. Peterson 


THe export products of the farm are 
subject to the inexorable law of sup- 


ply and demand. An excess of pro- 
duction in any year throughout +the 
world, often results in prices so low 
that the margin of profit is eliminated. 
Unlike many manufacturing products, 
it is not usually feasible or practical 
to store agricultural products for a 
long period of time awaiting change 
in market conditions. Then, too 
often, the farmer has borowed money

chief products such as grain” meats 
and dairy products are affected not 
only by home ceiman4d, but the surplus 
}of these commodities must compete in 
foreign markets with other producing 
| countries, having varying

|} these farm products must meet com- 
| petition on the basis of supply and de- 
mand in these various “World Mar- 
| kets,” it is obvious that the cost of 
{transportation must in the ordinary 
ease be deducted before the producer

If the Alberta farmer wishes to buy 
jan automobile he pays the Windsor 
| price plus freight, If he wishes to 
sell wheat in Liverpool he receives 
the price of wheat in Liverpool less 
| the freight, and other incidental 
jcbarges. The farmer pays the trans- 
| portation cost on both the auto and 
| his wheat. He must meet in the Liver- 
pool market, the seller from every 
part of the world. Transportation

HEADS OPTIMISTIC ON 
CANADA’S OUTLOOK 


Optimistic references to business 
conditions In Canada were made at 
the 109th annual general meeting of 
the Bank of Montreal by the presi 
dent, Sir Vincent Meredith, and by the 
general manager, Sir Frederick Wil- 
llams- Taylor. 

A broad survey of trade conditions, 
declared Sir Vincent, finds much to 
|hearten and little to discourage. In 
almost every department of business, 
) activity 1s greater and profits higher. 
This finds practical demonstration in 
,the growth of the pulp and paper in- 
‘dustry, the exploijation of our min- 
eral resources and the harnessing of 
“our enormous water power resources. 
| Describing 


present conditions in 
Canada, the president drew the con- 
;clusion that the Dominion “has 


‘emerged from the shadow of restrict- 
|}ed business, unsatisfactory earnings 
and indifferent balance sheets and the 
. 2 * 
‘trend of business is now distinctly 
;upward in practically all lines” of 
jtrade, I cannot see any indication 
{that this period of prosperity is soon 
|coming to an end, I believe the un- 
derlying conditions are sound and the 
future can be viewed with confidence.” 
Sir Frederick Williams-Taylor, in 
| his address, reviewed the various 
| servites rendered by the bank in the 
| interests , of the general public and 
; that of Canada, such as the crop re- 
{ports during the crop season, the 
| monthly business analysis and the 
| Various pamphlets issued to farmers 
}in Canada and in foreign countries. 
In connection’ with the attraction 
| Canada holds for foreign c pital he 
mentioned three facts about Canada: 
| Firstly itis pointed out that less than 
150 years ago‘the three Prairie pro- 
)vinces were uninhabited. Today on 
| the fertile plains is a population of 
| two inillion prospqrous people, with 
j millions of rich and idle acres await- 
| ing settlers, In 1900 the value of the 
| field crops of these provinces is given 


| at 32 million dollars; now it is close to 


| 700 millions, ‘This, the report says, is 
H the nature of a sure and rapidly ris- 
jing dividend. 
Secondly, although Canada is known 
; as an agricultural country, it may not 
| be realized abroad that the gross 
| value of our Manufaciured products in 
| 1924, the last obtainable figures, was 
| $2,695,000,000, nearly twice the agri- 
cultural production for the same year. 
| Thirdly, such progress has been 
; made in harnessing wiuter power, that 
| Canada is now the second country per 


Pittcburgh | 4 vigorous colovization policy is the | capita in this respect in. the world. 


i“When developments now under way 
} are complete, Canada will have in use 
14,500,000 horse power, representing a 
| capital investnient in power plants 
‘and transmission lines of 8£4 million 
| dollars.” 
| “These three facts alone,” the Gen- 
;eral Manager said, “should be enough 
‘to attract the notice of British engin- 
;eers, promoters, investors, manufac: 
| turers and intending emigrants.” 
| The Crucial Test ‘ 
“Your Highness,” said the attend- 
jant, “a man with a bullet-proof shirt 


"is waiting in the ante-room.z 


“Show him in.” The inventor enter- 
| ed. - 
| “Has this garment been subjected 


| to every possible test?” jnquired the 
| potentate. 

“It has, your highness.” 

“Er—has it been to the steam laun- 
dry?” , 

Amazed at his own oversight, the 
|hapless inventor sneaked out of the 
room. 


A rejected suitor in Brooklyn was 
awarded $500 by a jury to reimburse 
jhim for the expense of his campaign.

BRITISH EMPIRE 
AS AGENCY FOR | 
WORLD PEACE 


Winnipeg —The British Empire is 
greater than ever at the present time, 
and recent changes in the attitude of 
the nations within the Empire toward 
one another, has not altered the fact 
that it stands in time of peace as it} 


stood in time of war, the greatest) 
agency of peace that the world has 
ever known. This was the definition 

! 


of the British Empire given by Hon. 
N. W. Rowell, K.C., before the Cana: | 
dian Chib here. 

Mr. Rowell deelared that the pur 
pose of the Imperial Conference had | 
not been, as some thought, to define 
the status of the Dominions, The Do- | 
minions had not blossomed into self- | 
governing entities in a day. Rather, 
had the purpose of the committee on 
Imperial relations been—to consider 
the changes required in administra 
tive, legislative and judicial forms, to 
bring them into harmony’ with the} 
status already acknowledged and de- 
elared. , 

Referring to public opinion in Can- 
nada relative to the status of the Do- 
ninion, Mr. Rowell thought no student 
of Canadian affairs could picture the 
future of the Dominion and at. the 
same ‘(ime be prepared to accept sub- 
sidiary relations to any other power. 

The vast majority of the Canadian 
people firmly believed in a full, equal | 
status for Canada within the Empire, 
and the unity of all the nations com- 
prising the Empire. n 

“To this view I subscribe. I be- 
lieve that Canada’s “highest destiny | 
lies within the Britannia family of} 
nations.” 


Britiie Stands By Pact 


Will Not Ask Revision of War Debs! 
Settlements 
London,—Great Britain will stand} 
by her debt funding agreement and | 
the principles of the Balfour note, was 
ithe comment of an official of the for-: 
eign office on the proposal of, the; 
faculty of political science of Colum-| 
bia University, New York, for a con- 
ference {o revise the war debt settle-| 
ments. 
This official expressed the view that | 
the proposal was the outcome of a| 
purely academic and unoffieial profes: | 
sional discussion, although it might! 
have educational value, which, if 
crystallized, would undoubtedly “be 
welcomed by British taxpayers. 
“Debtors,” he added, “are always 
willing to pay less than they owe.” H 
Apart. from this brief remark, the! 
forcign official declined to comment.

THE SUN 


Patriotic South Africa 


Stand Taken by Premier me 
Creates Intense Enthusiasm 

Cape Town, South Africa.—Premier 
Hertzog’s changed attitude since his 
réturn from the Imperial Conference 
in London continues to be widely com- 
| 

| 


|}mented upon. His declaration at Pre- 


torla, that as a result of the Imperial 
Conference “the most ardent protagon- 


| ist of national libery could now warm- 


ly support co-operation with the Bri- 
tish Empire,” has appealed, amid in- 
tense enthusiasm, to all the sons of 
the South African Union above racial 
prejudice or party division. 


The. Cape Times says Premier 
Herizog’s speeches are shaking the 
foundation of the political life. of 


South Africa. “They give the impres- 


| Sion,” The Times says, “that the man 


is busy about a greater task than any 
it seemed possible for him to under- 
take. His declaration, of the new na- 
tional responsibility will affect the 
whole attitude of the present govern- 
ment towards questions like that of 
the native policy and the Asiatic diff- 
culty.” , 

The Government's policy in the mat- 
ter of the natives and Indian residents 
tends towards greater restrictions 
than are imposed upon the natives 
and Indians at present, and calls for 
segregation to some extent, but the 
whole question has been in abeyance 
for some months. 


Universal Disarmament 


Germany Will Endeavor to Bring 

This !tdea Nearer to Realization 

Hamburg, Germany.—Germany re- 
gards the agreement reached at recent 
League of Nations council at Geneva 
for the withdrawal of the inter-allied 
military control commission as recog- 
nition that Germany has disarmed. Dr. | 
Gustav Stresemann, foreign secretary | 
in the ministry which resigned several 
days ago, made the statement. He) 
added that it was incompatible with | 
the spirit of the League of Nations 
for other countries to continue heavily 
armed while for Germany there were 
detailed armament restrictions. At fu- 
ture meetings, he declared, Germany 
“will raise the problem of bringing 
the idea of universal. dsiarmament 
nearer realization.” ” | 

Dr. Stresemann was speaking at 2} 
banquet given in his honor by the | 
Free State of Hamburg. As for the} 
country’s fereign policy, he said it 
would not be affected by the resigna- 
tion of the bourgdois coalition cabinet 
or Chancellor Marx.

Three Finlanders form the advance} 
guard of 146 who docked at St. John 
on December 11, and came direct to 
Calgary,-expecting immediate work. 
They were compelled to apply for re- 
lief. “The care of such men is a mat- 
ter for the federal government.” Mr. 
Carnill said, “It is nothing short of 
criminal to dump such men into the 


West in the dead of winter.”

Claim British-United States Liquor 
Treaty is Ruining Business 
New York.—An attempt to have the 
British-United States treaty, which 
permits British vessels to bring liquors 
into Unite® States ports under seals | 
affixed and removed at the three mile | 
limit, declared unconstitutional, vas | 
launched. before the United States cir-| 
cuit court of appeals by the Neptune| 
Association of Masters and Mates, 
The treaty was characterized by | 
representatives of the association as} 
a menace to United States mariners | 
., and shipping | 
Under provisions of the treaty, which | 
make possible the serving of alcoholic | 
beverages on Dritish passenger vessels | 
beyond the three mile line, passen- 
gers are being drawn away from} 
United States vessels to vessels where | 
they may obtain ‘alcoholic beverages, 
they asserted. 
The result has been, according to} 
the attorneys, a reduction in passen- 
ger traffic on United States vessels, 
land in the building of United States | 
ships; the “tying up at anchorage” of | 
vessels that might otherwise be en- 
gaged at passenger traffic; and the 
turning over of United States vessels 
to foreign companies and their trans-| 
fer to foreign registries. 
Although the treaty ‘with Great Bri-

FOR THE WEST 


Oitawa.—Plans for the construe-

of $6,000,000, mostly in Saskatchewan, 
are under consideration by the, Cana- 
dian National Railway. Definite de- 
cisions have hot yet been made but 
it is believed the Western branches 
will include the following: from Ash- 
mont, Alberta, into the Beaver River 
country; a link’ between St. Paul de 
Metis, AlbGrta, and the Turtléfore, 
Sask., line; continuation of the work 
on the branch running in an easterly 
direction from Turtleford and the pos- 
sibility of connecting it with Shel- 


| brook, Sask.; a short line from Wey- 


burn to Radville, Sask., and a branch 
line running in an easterly direction 
from Ridgedale, Sask. There will also 
be a number of small branches in the 
mining areas, of Alberta but no de- 
cision has as yet been reached as: to 
these. 

Stories to the effect 
adian National Mailway’s program 
would indicate an ouilet from the 
Peace River country in Northeastern 
Ajberta are discredited in Govern- 
ment circles. Western cabinet mem- 
bers and Government officials are said 
to be opposed to the construction of 
the proposed Brule Lake cut-off. 

Only one work will be undertaken 
in Eastern Canada and that will be a 


that the Can- 


| 20-mile extension to the Lake St, John 


line to tap valuable industrial areas. 

The proposals will be submiited to 
Parliament when the session\is re- 
sumed. 


Labor Candidate Wins 


Oswald Mosley, Rich Socialist Wins 
By-Election in Britain 

Smethwick.—Smethwick more than 
justified the confidence of the Laborite 
in the by-election for Parliament by 
returning Oswald Mosley, Laborite, by 
a huge majority over his Conservative 
opponent, J. M. Pike, and the Liberal, 
W. Bayliss, 

The vote was: Mosley, 16,077; Pike, 
9,495; Bayliss, 2,600. 

The result which was received with 
frantic enthusiasm by Mosley’s sup- 
porters shows that Socialist-Labor- 
ites of Smethwick wére undeterred by - 
the aristocratic extraction of Mosley 
and his wife, (who was Lady Cynthia 
Curzon), and their wealth, from giving 
him their confidence, and, it may be, 
fresh testimony of the old saying in 
this country that “your Radical dear- 


lly loves a lord.” 


Mr. Mosley said. after the announce- 
ment: “The result shows that the 
Government has entirely lost the con- 
fidence of the country and has now 
nf mandate to govern.” 


Mr. Pike said: “The electorate 
seemed to have been hypnotized by 
Mosley’s worldly possessions. The 


main lesson of the election is that the 
conquest of the Labor party by 
wealthy aristocrats has begun.”

A whimsical smile played with the! : 


corners of her mouth, “I remember,’ 
she said, “that you promised me, that! 
first day at Yvonne's that you woulda! 
be awfully fond of me.” The smile dis- | 
appeared, and left her wistful. “Ana : 
I remember, too, that you are the only | 
one, Teddy, who has turned out"to be

All the rest are different than IT ex-!

/“Are you, too, different than you ;

She laughed, gaily but all she said 
was, “Tleaps!” After awhile she add-; 
ed, “But we mustn’l reminisce, Teddy. 11 
It may transpire that scme day I shall) 
have nothing left but reminiseenee. If {ec

He caught her hand, when, she rose, 
and beld her, She Gil not draw away, i 
but stood quietly, her eyes meeting 
his. She was so close to him that he 
felt the warmth and tenderness of her, | 
and that she was almost breathless. ! 
For one brief instant his brain* went | 
into a riot and he was dizzy. When | 
his head cleared he felt her crushed 
against him, and realized that it was 
his own arms that were holding her 
there, holding her so tightly that al- 
veady her lips were paling. He would} 
have dropped hig arms and released 
her but she caught them, and let him} 
understand that she was yielding. shel 
was even holding her pale iips to hin | 
When, at last, she stirred, he kissed 
her again, and then freed her. Before 
she drew back she said to him:

Before they reached the gates of the 
Villa Amette. grouncs Joanna brought; 
up his threat to do the sporting thing! 
with Kenilworth. “I’d rather you'd} 
not tell him that [ know what bas been | 
in the past between him and Yvonne,’’! 
she said. “It hasn’t interested me at} 
all, you know.” 

Somehow, Teddy. thought, it did in- | 
terest her. He was foolishly bitter, 
about it, and resentful, which he 
didn’t have a chance to show, however, 
because they were turning inio the 
villa path and Joanna, with a flirt of 
her crop, broke into a final gallop to- 
ward the stables. 

Dorminster «had all the Wnglish-: 
man’s love for fine horses. He sél-

WORK WORN PEOPLE 


| Find New Health by Improving - 


Their Blood 


If you»feel ram down, it means that 
your blood is thin and watery, that 
your vitality is low. You do not sleep 

well and are tired when you -rise in 
the morning. You find no pleasure in 
yours meals and are listless and dis- 
pirited at your work. You have no 
energy to enjoy yourself. 

Thousands of men are run down by 
anxieties of work. Thousands of wo- 
men are broken down by their house- 
hold toil, with tired limbs and aching 
backs, thousands of girls are pale, 
listless and without attraction. It all 
means. the same thing—thin and 
watery blood, vitality run down, anae- 
mia, poor appetite, palpitating heart, 
short breath. 


Do not submit to this. Get new 


blood and with it new vitality.--There~ 


is no difficulty in doing this. Dr. 
Williams’ Pink Pills build-up and en- 
rich the blood, which brings with it 


| mew health and vitality. The man, 
| woman or girl who takes Dr, Williams’ 


Pink Pills is never run down. Their 
friends notice how energetic they are, 
what a fine appetite they have and 
how much they enjoy life. 

You can get these pills through any 
dealer in medicine, ov by mail at 50
